An incident during the prologue stage of the "Dakar" rally was remembered for its emotional scenes.
Idman.Biz reports that one of the race participants couldn't control his nerves after his car overturned and he was forced to stop competing in the prologue.
He kicked his car and used harsh expressions against himself emotionally:
"I am the most important person here and the biggest fool."
It should be noted that the prologue stage in the "Dakar" rally also serves as a qualifying function. It is based on the results of this stage that the pilots who make it into the top ten get the right to choose their starting positions for the main race.
Therefore, any problem or loss of time in the prologue can seriously affect the subsequent course of the race. This event once again showed how decisive the prologue stage is for drivers.
